transport device 2 in accordance with the disclosed and claimed concept can advantageously resist penetration of a liquid from aninterior region 30 thereof to anexterior region 32 thereof by including aliquid resistance apparatus 28. - The disclosed concept is described in association with transport devices that are structured to carry animals.
FIG. 1 shows the improvedtransport device 2, which is structured to carry an animal. The non-limiting embodiment shows a first component that is a mesh cap 6. The mesh cap 6 includes ahandle 8 and is coupled to a second component that is anenclosure piece 12. The mesh cap 6 may include thehandle 8, a strap (not shown), or any other suitable mechanism allowing thetransport device 2 to be carried. The mesh cap 6 andenclosure piece 12 are structured to be coupled by aseparable fastener 16 which may be, for example and without limitation, a zipper mechanism (schematically shown with double dashed lines inFIG. 1 ). - Seen in
FIG. 2 , the mesh cap 6 is structured to be coupled to theenclosure piece 12 such that an enclosedregion 14 is formed therebetween.FIG. 3 shows theenclosure piece 12 having abase 18 and at least afirst wall 20, and also shows acushion apparatus 22 for an animal to sit or lie on. Thecushion apparatus 22 comprises alateral pad 24 and asupport pad 26 and is depicted herein as being situated adjacent both thebase 18 and the at least afirst wall 20. Additionally, thetransport device 2 includes aliquid resistance apparatus 28 disposed on theenclosure piece 12 that is structured to resist the penetration of a liquid from aninterior region 30, seen inFIG. 2 , to anexterior region 32 of thetransport device 2. - In accordance with one aspect of the disclosed concept, and as will be set forth in greater detail below, the
liquid resistance apparatus 28 may include one or moreliquid resistance laminae interior region 30 to theexterior region 32 of thetransport device 2. It is within the scope of the disclosed concept for theliquid resistance laminae liquid resistance laminae exterior region 32. - The
liquid resistance laminae liquid resistance laminae liquid resistance laminae liquid resistance laminae -
FIG. 3 illustrates a firstliquid resistance lamina 34 and a secondliquid resistance lamina 36. The firstliquid resistance lamina 34 is situated adjacent asurface 40 of the at least afirst wall 20 that faces the enclosedregion 14. Referring toFIG. 3 , the firstliquid resistance lamina 34 may be affixed to the at least afirst wall 20 with adhesives or otherwise. However, it is within the scope of the disclosed concept for the firstliquid resistance lamina 34 to not be affixed to the at least afirst wall 20. - The second
liquid resistance lamina 36 is located on thelateral pad 24, which is structured to be located on theenclosure piece 12. Thelateral pad 24 has a layer of padding material internal thereto, and further has afirst surface 42 facing generally toward the enclosedregion 14. Schematically shown inFIGS. 2-4 , thefirst surface 42 of thelateral pad 24 is a surface of a cover element which may be made of lambskin. It will also be appreciated that thelateral pad 24 may be made of any material suitable to provide a comfortable surface for an animal to sit or lie on. Thelateral pad 24 also has asecond surface 44 opposite thefirst surface 42, and that is an external surface of the secondliquid resistance lamina 36. Also, schematically shown with double dashed lines inFIG. 2 , thelateral pad 24 is structured to be coupled to theenclosure piece 12 by a separable fastener 46 which may be, for example and without limitation, a zipper mechanism. - The
first surface 42 of thelateral pad 24 generally faces toward the enclosedregion 14, whereas thesecond surface 44, i.e., the secondliquid resistance lamina 36 situated on thelateral pad 24, faces generally in an opposite direction which, in the depicted exemplary embodiment, is generally toward the at least afirst wall 20 of theenclosure piece 12. Seen inFIG. 4 , abottom portion 48 of the secondliquid resistance lamina 36 extends inboard of alateral edge 64 and terminates at ahole 50 formed in theportion 48 of the secondliquid resistance lamina 36. The purpose of this feature is discussed below, and it is noted that in other embodiments the secondliquid resistance lamina 36 may not include thehole 50 and still be within the scope of the disclosed concept. The secondliquid resistance lamina 36 is affixed to thelateral pad 24, however it is within the scope of the disclosed concept for the secondliquid resistance lamina 36 to not be affixed to thelateral pad 24. - The liquid resistance apparatus also comprises a third
liquid resistance lamina 38 in the form of a cover portion of thesupport pad 26. Thesupport pad 26 has acushion element 52 that faces generally toward the enclosedregion 14, seen inFIG. 2 . Thecushion element 52 has a cover portion that may be made of any material suitable to provide a comfortable surface for an animal to sit or lie on. Schematically shown inFIGS. 2-6 , and as a non-limiting example, the cover portion is made of lambskin. However, it is within the scope of the disclosed concept for the cover portion to be made of any material suitable for animal to sit or lie on. - The third
liquid resistance lamina 38 faces generally away from theenclosed region 14.FIG. 5 illustrates a top view andFIG. 6 illustrates a side view of thesupport pad 26. The thirdliquid resistance lamina 38 may be affixed to thesupport pad 26. However, it is within the scope of the disclosed concept for the thirdliquid resistance lamina 38 to not be affixed to thesupport pad 26. Thelateral pad 24 and thesupport pad 26 potentially may be used individually or in combination without departing from the present concept. - In addition to the
liquid resistance laminae base 18 of thetransport device 2 comprises afloor element 56 and a raisedrim 58 that is located on the floor element, which can be said to be a part of theliquid resistance apparatus 28.FIG. 8 is a section view of a portion of theenclosure piece 12 shown inFIG. 7 , and shows the raisedrim 58 located on thefloor element 56. Together, thefloor element 56 and raisedrim 58 resist the penetration of a liquid to theexterior region 32 of thetransport device 2. Additionally, theenclosure piece 12 may further compriseindividual post elements 62 over which an animal's weight is distributed. - In accordance with an aspect of the disclosed concept, the
liquid resistance apparatus 28 may employ the firstliquid resistance lamina 34, the secondliquid resistance lamina 36, the thirdliquid resistance lamina 38, and the raisedrim 58 andfloor element 56, together or in any combination. - Seen in
FIG. 4 , the secondliquid resistance lamina 36 includes thelateral edge 64 that is situated adjacent the base 18 when thetransport device 2 is in an assembled state. When thehole 50 is used in combination with the raisedrim 58 andfloor element 56, then thehole 50 directs a liquid, such as, for example and without limitation, urine, onto acentral region 68 of thefloor element 56. When this happens, liquid will not penetrate to theexterior region 32 of thetransport device 2, and rather will be retained generally in thecentral region 68 where it may evaporate, by way of example. Seen inFIG. 4 , thehole 50 is generally circular, although it is within the scope of the disclosed concept for the hole to be other shapes (e.g., without limitation, rectangular). - While specific embodiments of the disclosed concept have been described in detail, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various modifications and alternatives to those details could be developed in light of the overall teachings of the disclosure. Accordingly, the particular arrangements disclosed are meant to be illustrative only and not limiting as to the scope of the disclosed concept which is to be given the full breadth of the claims appended and any and all equivalents thereof.
